Chapman, C. 1962. A copy of the death certificate is in Carleton Chapman’s “E. H. Starling—the clinicians physiologist.” Ann Int Med 57, suppl. 2, p. 17. The date of death on the certificate is given as May 2; the date of signing is May 5. The ship’s name is given as the SS Origani [sic]. In the column under “Signature, Qualifications, and Residence of Informant” we read: “I. W. McLean who caused the body to be buried.

Patterson Muriel. This letter (October 26, 1951) was written to Ralph Golp (the American physician who was planning a biography of Starling at the time). It is full of affectionate memories of her father “He and I did have many good times together. He took me to my first hearing of the Ring at Covent Garden, having subscribed to two gallery seats (the cheapest, with backless benches to sit on) for the whole cycle.” Colp dutifully returned the letter to Muriel, for it was among the family papers provided by Tom Patterson (Muriel’s son).Google Scholar
